Ah cold a cold my kingdom to get rid of this cold !

I admit it... its getting wearing... I keep thinking I am beating this damn cold and it keeps sneaking back and hitting me harder.. So tonight I am attacking with everything at my disposal !! PAX is a lem sip style product they do a Day and Night version I HAVE BOTH I have more Benelyn and I have throat lozenges and anti flu caps.. I have decided its IT or ME !!! War has been declared...

If it continues to get me down like this I might be forced to take my first day off this year ... that doesn't sit well but if its that or getting worse maybe a day off would allow me to get over it faster.

I will see how I feel in the morning.

4 cover lessons today for exams... exam cover can be good or bad depending on the garde your covering and the time... ie if its Grade 6 its terrible they haven't got the exam idea into their heads yet and still think they can come and go and do what they like during an exam. Where as grade 8 are more mature about it... but where its really bad is if you get the hour before the exam !!! where its open revision (Read chaotic noise for 60 minutes..) I found myself sitting in 2 revision periods for grade 6 classes today needless to say I was pretty drained by the end of those 2 sessions.

My grade 6 kids sat their technology exam today and the results are varied to say the least bearing in mind 7 is the top grade and 1 the bottom I have a pretty standard bell shaped curve from the first class I marked. Will need to mark a few more though to see if its across the board...

On my way back from the pharmacy having topped up on my meds I snapped this pic which just sums up what you see on the roads around Bogota, and with the fuel crisis and cost of oil you have to believe it might become more popular 2 carrots for 30 miles sounds a good deal.
